A very good friend of mine wrote this for me after the tragic murder of my sister. It really struck a place in my heart, probably because it describes my inner feelings so well. Madness strikes everywhere; Its insanity more than we can bear, Violating the sanctity of life, Replacing it with endless strife. Souls in rotting tombs cry for justice That always seems just beyond reach. They are mocked with ripe injustice, Silencing their imploring speech. While my sighs, too deep for words, Cry out, O Lord, how long Before plows are made from swords And you overcome the wrong? My antipodean feelings ebb and flow - Grief, anger, sorrow, bitterness, peace I seek the healing waters you bestow To bring my bruised and wounded heart release. - David Hasey - Submitted by: Kathy Vineyard tektronix!daemon!kathyv
